This operator was lucky. Canada has a great inspection system. But we can’t be running these very old cranes. A couple of years ago I saw some old Lindens and Krolls from the 60’s up and running in Victoria. I know it feels like a waste, but they have to go.

Whether you work with mobile or overhead cranes, there are always opportunities to gain greater productivity and safety records through training and the application of new technologies.

I want to suggest that maybe it’s time to consider designing seats in a manner that would aid survivability in the event of a collapse. Seat belts just on the lap would add to this survivability.
